Update.. Friday morning, 6/17.

Water is looking better, secchi disk readings confirm 36" visibility.

Aeration still on 24/7.

water temp is 80 degrees @ 24" depth.

I did a complete walk around of the pond, vegetation is nil. All that remains are brown dusty spots on the pond bottom. The cattails are hanging on, but do not look at all well. I am unsure if they will eventually succumb to the fluridone, or recover after some time has passed.
I threw out some AM as I walked around, and generated feeding activity at all locations. Things are looking good.

I will continue to moniter water clarity, essentially to see how "sterile", for lack of a better word, the water becomes. I know that very clear water is usually regarded as detrimental to the food chain. Hopefully, I can reach a balance somewhere.

I intend to research some threads on beneficial bacteria, as an aid to try and help clean the water, since the plant growth has stopped.

I am cautiously optimistic.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
